Whole Gospel for the Whole Person
Theological Training
IONA Centers for Theological
Training
IONA's three-year curriculum is administered to registered students
in their local areas and in the languages with which they are most comfortable.
It includes Bible, Theology, and Ministry courses in an effort to balance
these three important building blocks of Christian service. Knowledge
of Bible content is foundational to all Christian witness and service,
Theology holds the Christian to the realities of the Gospel, making
him sound and biblically consistent, while the Ministry courses help
students put into practice their understanding of the Bible. IONA students
have the opportunity to work towards a Certificate or Diploma. Classes
are offered in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French, and are currently
meeting in North America, Grenada, Jamaica, Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia,
Colombia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Martinique. IONA graduates
qualify to enter the Bachelors program in the Miami International Seminary
(MINTS) with which IONA has a close working relationship. Additionally,
enrichment seminars are offered through IONA for lay persons. Topics
include: Application of the Gospel, Practical Theology, Family Life,
and Personal Discipleship. IONA courses and workshops are taught by
pastors and visiting professors from well-respected churches and seminaries.
